In the story The Jacket by Gary Soto, the jacket has a negative affect on his life because everybody laughed at him and tried to do it behind his back. On paragraph 6 page 31 the author writes, “I saw there heads bob with laughter, their hands half covering their mouths.” This quote supports the claim because they thought that his jacket was so ugly that they tried to hide their laughter from him. Another piece of evidence is on paragraph 7 page 31 the author writes, “Although they didn’t say out loud ‘Man, that's ugly,’ I heard the buzz-buzz of gossip and even laughter that I knew it was meant for me.”

Then, while Sutter and Cassidy are having a conversation about Aimee, Sutter brings up the jacket. “Hey, that coats in the back of the closet now.”(p.g 207).

This seems to make the sweater geared more towards an audience that cares more about quality items that may not be necessarily well known, someone that may be known as a “hipster”.

True happiness cannot be manufactured through artificial means. In the novel “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, artificial happiness is used as a means of control over the world state through the use of “soma”. Citizens use this drug regularly as a form of artificial happiness to satisfy their superficial need for pleasure hence keeping them controlled, satisfied and ignorant.
